And of course, they used the WOMEN’s bathroom!

Great to know! We’ve used lots of ketchup in the past! It works fairly well in an emergency!

[MHM]

Ketchup tangent.

I think I’ve read that ketchup is useful for getting the tail white on a gray horse, but I’ve never tried it.

I can confirm that the dawn/peroxide/baking soda works.

But the most important step is DO NOT ADD WATER TO THE DOG BEFORE ADDING THE SOLUTION.

Add the solution to the dry dog, scrub, then rinse.

The initial skunk spray “smell” is more like a painful chemical burn. Takes a minute for it to settle into “oh that’s skunk.” We have so many skunks that deskunking is common for us.

It’s amazing that any dog would need to be de-skunked more than once.

I know dogs are not necessarily super geniuses, but come on.

Thank y’all for once again donating to MB’s GoFundMe in my honor. I’m so glad to be a part of y’all actually helping him for a change.

Anyone who lives in porcupine country will tell you dogs aren’t smart.

Thanks for clarifying!

Sadly, I know that all too well.

Even more so, the number of dogs that repeatedly go after porcupines…

And as an aside, I just had to make my earlier fine-related reply…just so I could come up with another fun name for the GFM.

Good one!

Ketchup is also brilliant for neutralising the smell of fox poo when your filthy terrier rolls in it

I had a very smart flat coated retriever mix who just would not learn to stay away from skunks. I lost track of how many times she got sprayed, and how many times she managed to include a human in the spraying.

We found that L’Oreal kids’ shampoo cut the smell very well. The berry scents worked the best.

Ok, that sounds more diabolical than dumb. Lol.

[RMJacobs]

Could be.

Never underestimate the bull-headedness of JRTs. Our, er, most intense terrier got two skunks years ago. Once he was sprayed you could see the switch flip as he channeled Paul Reubens from Buffy the Vampire Slayer - “Kill him. Kill him a LOT.” Recollecting the carcass removal and terrier cleanup still makes me gag.

Fortunately our latest Jack is less driven and has a recall. Sort of.

Omg. That’s a fantastic reference for a Jack Russell!! Lol.

Yes - it perfectly describes most terriers! I sometimes describe my Welsh Terrier as having “flipped the terrier switch to ON.”

ETA: I should have read further before commenting too late.

Actually, they don’t seem deterred by the process. In fact, dogs will repeatedly attack porcupines. Their defense is much worse on the dog, but the dogs don’t seem to learn from it and will attack the next porcupine they see!
